Quilt Top In a Day

I know, I surprise myself too! Sewing with 4 little ones running around can be challenging. I just have to plan ahead for naptime and I sew at the kitchen table. This is a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I can be in the midst of my kids while working on little bits. A curse because I have to pack everything up constantly. Oh well, it’s what God has on my plate for now – so I make the best of it!This quilt will be for my shop – finally! Joe still needs a quilt, I am reminded often, that he is the only one in our house without a personal quilt. But he is a lot more particular on fabric choice, so it’s a bit tricky. Any suggestions? He has mentioned GI Joe. . . I found some old sheets on ebay – but I don’t think that will do!So this is a very simple block that I drafted after I purchased a Flutterby charm pack and a few fat quarters on ebay. The top is 45″ square, I think it would be great for tummy time or as a stroller blanket. I love all the saturated colors – I think that is what sold me on the fabrics =)I couldn’t help but snap this not very good picture up. Remember how I said Sophia is a good mommy to her babies? Well for naptime today she fell asleep at the foot of her bed so that she could overlook her babies in their pack-n-play, also napping. Too cute!

Hi Amy!! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment about my piece, that was so nice of you!

I LOVE the quilt! I’m so inspired!! I love to sew and earlier in the year started some projects. I have the same complaint as you – sewing during naptime means packing and unpacking your projects every time until they’re finished. But what’s a Mom to do? :-)

I started some dresses for my girls and only have 1 finished :-O I don’t have the discipline that you mentioned in your post below about finishing things once they’re started. I’m a little notorious for that unfortunately. However, this I did finish and give as a gift and was quite pleased with myself and the results :-D

my ella always gets her babies set up before she falls asleep. either in bed next to her or in a pack-n-play. she even covers the pack-n-play with a blanket like they do at her daycare to keep the kids from talking to each other! such a sweet picture you snapped.

Hi I'm Amy! Here's what you need to know about me - I love to sew! I learned to sew garments as a girl, then taught myself to quilt as a young mom. I've been writing books and patterns for the last five years, and hope to inspire you in your own quilting journey!
